  • Publication number: 20220282968
    Abstract: A camera device includes an inclination sensor that is configured to repeatedly detect an inclination of a camera housing, a memory that stores, as an initial value, a detection value of the inclination at the time of installation of the camera housing, a plurality of light emitting elements that is provided on a front surface of the camera housing, and a processor that is configured to control driving of the plurality of light emitting elements. The processor is configured to drive and control the plurality of light emitting elements in different light emission patterns according to a difference between the detection value of the inclination of the camera housing and the initial value.

  • Publication number: 20040236582
    Abstract: The invention aims at providing server apparatus capable of outputting image data and sound data thereby deactivating sound transmission at a low cost and with ease. That is, a sound input device (microphone) for converting sound to a sound signal is made detachable. A connection detector for detecting whether this sound input device (microphone) is connected is provided. In case the sound input device is connected to a sound input section, the sound transmission function is automatically controlled into the operating state. In case the sound input device is not connected, the sound transmission function is automatically controlled into the non-operating state. Thus, only a simple procedure of removing the sound input device from the sound input section is needed to deactivate sound transmission. This allows switching between activation and deactivation of sound transmission at a low cost.

  • Publication number: 20040141053
    Abstract: The present invention provides a network camera system in which, when images are window-displayed, the images and audios can be outputted in association without requiring any special operation. The network camera system comprises one or more network cameras (2, 2a, 2b, 2c), each of which includes an applet/plugin transmission unit which transmits an applet for reproducing an image displaying window and a audio in association in a network terminal (1). The network terminal (1) window-displays an image accompanying the audio, contained in a received Web page, and it downloads the applet or the like from the camera. The applet or the like performs a control so as to emit the audio of the network camera corresponding to the window which a user has designated in the network terminal (1) by, for example, moving a cursor to this window and clicking it.

  • Patent number: 5557443
    Abstract: An optical remote controller includes a movable infrared ray transmitter, a plurality of light receiving modules, and a received light signal selector for selecting the earliest sensed one from the light signals received by the light receiving modules. The signal selector includes a clock signal generator, first to third mask signal generators to generate invalidation signals, received light signal mask circuits to invalidate received signals, a mask release signal generator to measure an invalidation time period, and an encoder to sense termination of each unit of transmission information. A camera is attached rotatably in vertical and horizontal directions on a fixed support plate. The support plate includes a plurality of infrared ray receiving elements. According to a moving command of an optical remote control signal received by the elements, an optical remote controller vertically and horizontally drives the camera and directs the camera to the arrival direction of the remote control signal.

  • Patent number: 3964137
    Abstract: A slide fastener is disclosed which comprises a pair of stringer tapes of a warp-knitted structure including wales and fastener component parts attached to the tapes. These fastener component parts are made of a thermoplastic material and attached by injection, extrusion, supersonic or high-frequency heating to the stringer tape or tapes. The resulting tape or tapes are provided with the material of the fastener component parts extended into and through the interstices of the knitted structure and further into the wales so as to provide increased stability of the parts against displacement or detachment under severe stresses.
